What is wrong
Suzuki Motor of America, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling 2010-2013 Kizashi vehicles. The front passenger seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) may misclassify an adult occupant as child and deactivate the front air bag.
The risk
The deactivated front air bag will not deploy in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Suzuki will notify owners, and service providers will replace the front passenger seat cushion, which includes a new OCS mat assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on October 29, 2021. Owners may contact Suzuki customer service at 1-[removed]. Suzuki's number for this recall is C5.
Notes from the manufacturer
